LCLS Linac Technical Design Review Charge

LCLS Linac Technical Design Review Charge

• The purpose of the Linac TDR is to carry out an
  integrated examination and assessment of the
  technical design of the LCLS Linac System. In
  carrying out its charge, the committee should
  review and evaluate the scope of the Linac
  System, in consideration of the following
• Do the performance specifications for the Linac
  provide an adequate basis for evaluation of the
  Linac design?
• Is the Linac preliminary design adequate ,
  including any specifications, to meet the LCLS
  performance functions and requirements?
• Are all ESH and technical requirements
  adequately addressed by the structures, systems
  and components incorporated into the Linac
  preliminary design?
• Is the preliminary design of the Linac defined to
  the extent that its basis can be used to set the
  baseline cost and schedule, including
  contingency?
• Is the Linac work scope organized logically such
  that its management team can successfully
  construct, install and commission its
  deliverables?

LCLS Linac Technical Design Review Charge

• We would like to get a short, concise report (2-3
  pages) from the review team with a general
  assessment of technical maturity followed by
  recommendations/action items. The following
  format is proposed
• Section I. General assessment of the overall
  Linac scope and design maturity based upon the
  previous questions.
• Section II. Bulleted sections
• Comments
• Cite any open design issues and/or missing
  components
• Cite any areas of risk and/or any suggestions for
  follow-up RD
• Cite any potential conflicts with a shared use of
  the SLAC Accelerator and Controls.
• Recommendations and/or Action Items
• Cite any recommendations and/or action items that
  the committee feels should be addressed.
• Cite any overly optimistic expectations or
  assumptions which require further investigation.
• This report will be very helpful in preparing for
  a DOE Performance Baseline review in April 2004.
• We thank the committee in advance for taking time
  out of their busy schedules to provide this
  important feedback on the LCLS Linac design.
